Mayon (Luzon Island, Philippines): The volcano's activity continues with little changes but at relatively low levels: according to Phivolcs, there are 3 lava flows down the Miisi, Basud and Bonga-Buyuan gullies on the southern and southeastern flanks with their most advanced fronts having reached 3.3, 4.5 and 0.9 kilometers distance.When observed in the evening, these flows were still modestly active, with abundant but smaller glowing rockfalls mainly in their upper portion. ... [read more] ... [show less] During the afternoon and evening, we noticed only one smaller short-lived explosion. This seems not entirely compatible with the updates from Phivolcs the latest of which (from this morning) described up to 80 seismic signals likely related to episodes of "lava fountains", that occurred sporadically, ejecting incandescent blocks to 100-600 m above the vent, and producing ash plumes that rise a few hundred meters (up to approx. 800 m):"in the past 24 hours was characterized by sporadic and lava fountaining, lava flow and degassing from the summit crater. Between 7:34 AM yesterday and 4:06 AM this morning (22 Feb), the seismic network recorded eighty (80) discrete seismic events associated with otherwise obscured lava fountaining that lasted two (2) to forty-nine (49) minutes and were accompanied by rumbling and chugging sounds audible beyond 10 kilometers of the summit crater."
